Summary

The achievement of students of color continues to be disproportionately low at all levels of education. More than ever, Geneva Gay’s foundational book on culturally responsive teaching is essential reading in addressing the needs of today’s diverse student population.

Combining insights from multicultural education theory and research with real-life classroom stories, Gay demonstrates that all students will perform better on multiple measures of achievement when teaching is filtered through their own cultural experiences.

This bestselling text has been extensively revised to include: expanded coverage of student ethnic groups; a new section on standards and diversity; new examples of culturally diverse curriculum content; more examples of programs and techniques that exemplify culturally responsive teaching; an emphasis on positive, action-driven possibilities in student–teacher relationships; and new material on culturally diverse communication, addressing common myths about language diversity and the effects of English Plus instruction.

More than ever, Geneva Gay’s foundational book on culturally responsive teaching is essential reading in addressing the needs of today diverse student population.

by Majic Miller

I have used this textbook in practice, research and teaching graduate level courses. Gay, proposes a state of mind and a way of looking at students as capable and competent. The textbook came in on time. It was in a great condition. Would love to purchase more in the future from this seller.
